A bushel and a peck

Ode to fruit rollups

I was chatting with a friend when the topic of fruit rollups came up. I was mid undying-love-and-devotion-spiel when she mentioned she couldn’t stand the things, “they’re so thin – what’s the point?” GASP! What’s the point?! WHAT’S THE POINT?!!! They’re like a little piece of heaven, that’s the point! It doesn’t matter what deadline looms, what boring project lies before you, sadness, disappointment – all of it magically disappears while snacking on a fruit rollup.

Of course, it will behoove you to know how to properly eat said rollup. You don’t eat it flat; that’s just silly! Once off the plastic, you section, roll back up, and munch. If you want to be wild and crazy, you can wrap part of it around your finger, and eat the part that protrudes. That’s some good times too. Just be sure to periodically reposition – nothing ruins a good thing quite like chomping down on on a digit. Then how will you explain? You’re an adult for crying out loud!!

Why am I telling you this again? Because it’s Monday, that’s why – and sometimes you need a little extra somethin’ to get through the day. So go on and buy yourself a fruit rollup or two – unroll – peel – divide – roll – and munch it’s sweet goodness. Then just try to tell me you don’t feel happier.

Greetings & salutations

Just in case you're wondering what you've gotten yourself into, my blog's a lot like life: it's a hodge-podge. So pour yourself a steaming cup of goodness, settle in, and I'll tell you all about it--whatever 'it' happens to be . . .
